There are places where preempt_disable() or local_irq_disable() are used
to prevent any CPU from going offline during the critical section. Let us
call them as "atomic hotplug readers" ("atomic" because they run in atomic,
non-preemptible contexts).

Today, preempt_disable() or its equivalent works because the hotplug writer
uses stop_machine() to take CPUs offline. But once stop_machine() is gone
from the CPU hotplug offline path, the readers won't be able to prevent
CPUs from going offline using preempt_disable().

So the intent here is to provide synchronization APIs for such atomic hotplug
readers, to prevent (any) CPUs from going offline, without depending on
stop_machine() at the writer-side. The new APIs will look something like
this:  get_online_cpus_atomic() and put_online_cpus_atomic()

Some important design requirements and considerations:
-----------------------------------------------------

1. Scalable synchronization at the reader-side, especially in the fast-path

   Any synchronization at the atomic hotplug readers side must be highly
   scalable - avoid global single-holder locks/counters etc. Because, these
   paths currently use the extremely fast preempt_disable(); our replacement
   to preempt_disable() should not become ridiculously costly and also should
   not serialize the readers among themselves needlessly.

   At a minimum, the new APIs must be extremely fast at the reader side
   atleast in the fast-path, when no CPU offline writers are active.

2. preempt_disable() was recursive. The replacement should also be recursive.

3. No (new) lock-ordering restrictions

   preempt_disable() was super-flexible. It didn't impose any ordering
   restrictions or rules for nesting. Our replacement should also be equally
   flexible and usable.

4. No deadlock possibilities

   Regular per-cpu locking is not the way to go if we want to have relaxed
   rules for lock-ordering. Because, we can end up in circular-locking
   dependencies as explained in https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/6/290

   So, avoid the usual per-cpu locking schemes (per-cpu locks/per-cpu atomic
   counters with spin-on-contention etc) as much as possible, to avoid
   numerous deadlock possibilities from creeping in.


Implementation of the design:
----------------------------

We use per-CPU reader-writer locks for synchronization because:

  a. They are quite fast and scalable in the fast-path (when no writers are
     active), since they use fast per-cpu counters in those paths.

  b. They are recursive at the reader side.

  c. They provide a good amount of safety against deadlocks; they don't
     spring new deadlock possibilities on us from out of nowhere. As a
     result, they have relaxed locking rules and are quite flexible, and
     thus are best suited for replacing usages of preempt_disable() or
     local_irq_disable() at the reader side.

Together, these satisfy all the requirements mentioned above.

I'm indebted to Michael Wang and Xiao Guangrong for their numerous thoughtful
suggestions and ideas, which inspired and influenced many of the decisions in
this as well as previous designs. Thanks a lot Michael and Xiao!

It seems no need to set 'err' to 0.

Sorry for the late reply. This mail got buried in my inbox and
I hadn't noticed it until now.. :-(

I'll remove the unnecessary initialization. Thank you!
